If I took a class and the teacher asked me to write a report on the Civil War - and then docked me on my grade for not including information on the Vietnam War, I'd be a little pissed.
I know a lot of people like to see specs in a review and that most of us conform and put them there but, in reality, it's unfair to hold people to standards that are NOT required.
Products that have different ingredients than those listed should have that mentioned. For example, I recently reviewed a clitoral arousal gel that had changed formulations.
Products that have changed materials should be noted. For example, the Rabbit Pearl I reviewed was elastomer, they had upgraded it from Jelly.
If a product's size differs from the specs, it should be noted. Glass and wood toys have this happen frequently since they are all handmade and variations are natural.
But, I'll be frank here, it's unfair to any reviewer to rate them poorly because you dislike looking at specs and info on the designated pages for those specs and info.
Review templates have a word count for a reason. Is it really more useful to have specs and ingredients repeated than to hear more about how the toy worked and felt?
If you must include specs, rewording them is the way to do it. As Scott mentioned, it's pretty easy to work them into the rest of your review so they flow well. But they are not required at all.
Even the extended template does not ask for exact specs. It asks " Did you like the design? Your opinion of shape and how it supposed to work and how it worked for you. What's your opinion of the size? Is this size better for beginner or more advanced users? Is this toy easy to hide? Is this toy discreet and/or suitable for travel?"
The Descriptive Review Program Guidelines state, clearly, " Include all features/functions of vibes, types offasteners on harnesses, etc. Don't worry about technical details likemeasurements, material, etc. We'll still be providing the toy properties on the page as we do now."
Remember that reviews are for customers more than voting fodder for other reviewers. It's SO cool that we have such an active community that spends so much time reading, rating and commenting on each other's reviews. Rating is a personal thing and we should all feel free to do it honestly - but we should not be holding people to standards that are above what is required by EdenFantasys itself or penalizing someone for not including information that EdenFantasys makes readily available on every single product page.
And, finally, if you have a product that is measuring differently or has different ingredients or a different material, not only include that info in your review but do a support ticket.
We can't check - and adjust as needed - the info if no one reports it.
